Story Mode Basics
This is more like a small dungeon type of game like Tobal. There are altogether
12 Stages, but true dungeon only 8 stages as the last few as just boss-fighting.
Here are some hints :
- You can make use of a complete map by accessing the option menu. The map can be a great help as you will know where you are suppose to go as indicated by a circle usually.
- Don't even think about short cuts. You usually have to visit most of the area in the stage as they don't design it just for fun.
- When struck on a level, you can check the help option in the option menu and see if you need to do anything in particular to proceed.
- Usually you will need to get a key to pass through a certain door and in this game once you enter through a door, there will not be a need to go back out so each stage is subdivided into sections separated by door. The key are sometimes found by killing an enemy. You will know an enemy holds a key when you see a yellow flashes above the character. The enemy is usually a big boss type or something special.
- In the forest stage, you will need to get a fairy item at a great tree guard by an enemy. Then you will need to go back to an area in the SW with a pond and you will be able to proceed from there.
- In the tunnel region, you will need to go into a tunnel underground which will eventually lead you to get a bomb and then you will drop down back to where you started. You will need to go to the hill blocking the train route and blast it apart. Climb on the mine train and you will be able to proceed.
- In the volcanic region, you will be able to get a pair of special boots that enable you to walk on the lava to finish the stage.
- In the last stage on the machine age, you will need to go into a small room and turn on a furnace which power a machine stumper. You will need to get a gold bar by defeating a creature and going to the stumper will mould you gold bar into a gold key for you to enter the final door.
- There are some pads in the machine age and other similar region in which you can jump on it and it open a bridge. There are other boxes that are actually bombs. When you approach them, they flashes and blow up. At some point, you may think you can actually jump over a fence or something, well, you can't. There is another way around it. There are also floating platform in which you will need to aim and jump onto. There are the stationary gear looking ones and the golden moving one. You will need to jump from one to another to get pass some area. On a platform, don't try to move after landing as you are quite likely to fall off as your movement is too big. On the first level, the plank behave differently. They fall down after you land on it, so make a run for it. There is also one similar one in one of the level with a death character in the center. It spin around and once you land on it, you will have to run and jump onto the center and kill death before you can use it properly. You will not make it in time to run across. There are many houses in the game that you can enter and obtain power up. Simply go to the door.
Action Replay Codes
You will be able to get the codes from PSX Cheat Station. URL above. However be
warned, on some level it does not work, particularly the last 2 levels. But they
will work on the final round on each stage at least.
To beat some of the bosses on such level, you will need to block after you learn
its attack pattern and attack. This is particularly true for a Scorpion robot on
the last level, where you will need to block 3 attack at close range before you
can throw in a kick and you will need to repeat that pattern again and again.
Other than that, the GameShark code works in general. You may also need to lock
you level so that it does flow back to 1 after going over the maximum. But what
is important is the
stats of your character.
Stages
There are 8 standard stages in which you will fight 7 other characters as bosses
in the first 7, and a winged girl in the 8th. After that, you will continuously
fight the armor and the big guy with the winged girl and finally the trapped
demon himself so be prepared.
